School reform in Premnitz: Comprehensive school starts with 900 signatures!

In the small town of Premnitz, a significant decision is about: the conversion of the existing high school to a comprehensive school. At a recently held information event, experts, skeptics and interested citizens discussed this project. Chairman of the city council, Christian Peter from the Döberitz voting community Mögelin Premnitz, moderated the discussion, in which Elke Nermerich, deputy of the district administrator, also presented the district's school development planning. According to her, the forecast number of students in the Havelland justifies the construction of a comprehensive school in Premnitz to offer a high school high school.

A change to the comprehensive school was actually rejected three weeks ago; However, the current access of school development planning now seems more optimistic. The forecasts suggest that identification with a new school form could have positive effects on the number of students. Harald Schmidt from the State School Authority also commented and assured that there was no fear of “narrow-gauge Abitur” in the case of sufficiently high school diploma.

support from the population

The talks also intensified with the support from the population. Mayor Thomas Rosenberg received a petition with over 900 signatures that argue for the introduction of a comprehensive school. Alexander Goldmann, the deputy mayor of Rathenow, emphasized the need to create a strong educational offer for the children from Westhavelland.

The discussion about a possible transfer of the high school to the district was largely considered no longer considered relevant. Skeptics expressed themselves, but their concerns seemed to be scattered with regard to the pupil forecasts of the district administration, which further fueled the optimism through the project.

decision is imminent

The final decision on the conversion of the high school into a comprehensive school will be made on July 1, 2025 in the next city council, which takes place in the dining room of the primary school on Dachsberg at 6 p.m. School development planning is a mandatory task of the counties and independent cities in the state of Brandenburg, which is intended to ensure that a home -related and comprehensive range of school is created. In this regard, the current planning for the next five years is of central importance in order to do justice to demographic developments and regional conditions, as can be seen on the website of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.

The field of participants of the event shows how important the topic of school conversion is for the entire region. With concrete planning steps and a broad discussion, Premnitz could soon take a significant step in the educational landscape of the Havelland.
